swegyptian Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Hi all, I'm selling my black RF7s. Local pickup in Lombard, IL. The cosmetics are rough, but no performance issues. A few broken grill pegs, but they stay on just fine. Photos give you a really good idea on the condition. Price is $500 firm. Let me know what questions come to mind. Thanks, Alex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted May 27, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 27, 2017 I've seen much rougher. $500 is still a good price for someone to pick up some great speakers. Best wishes with the sale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Good deal for RF-7. Pretty Palladiums in the background. Good luck with the sale. It shouldn't take long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthews Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Those aren't too "rough". Was expecting horrible per description. Great deal imo. Some of those dimples can be easily removed with a delicate touch. The tiny crease in the lower one may be a little more difficult but still doable. Good, quality duct tape, GENTLY press it into the dimple. Very quickly and again GENTLY, rip the duct tape straight off. I have done it with satisfactory results. Upon close examination you will still notice them but from afar, gone. Perhaps a tip to pass on to the new owner? Matt ♪ ♫ ♪ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swegyptian Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Thanks! I've often wondered if I could fix it, but didn't want to make it any worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also heard of people pulling those dimples out the dust cover with a vacuum cleaner with a sock over the end, so the suction isn't too much. I agree with others, you have listed a good price and despite the few imperfections, nothing I've seen will affect the sound. Those should move fairly quickly a be a good purchase for someone wanting to get get into an RF-7. GLWYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaman Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 If I were closer I could picture them in my room. Good luck with sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1HOHDude Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 These dimples will come out leaving no mark mostly by using a mild vacuum. On mine I drilled a hole in a 2" suction cup, inserted a glass tube and suctioned them out using my mouth. Seems clear why you feel you no longer need the 7s as we all seem to think the Palladiums have won the day. Would love to have your comments on the difference between the 7s and the Palladiums.

1HOHDude Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I also think the price is a good one for the buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swegyptian Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 They speakers are really pretty similar. Dollar for dollar, the RF7 win, but for now I'm going to keep the P37 instead. Overall the RF7 has a bolder midrange, and better bass, and the P37 is more even from top to bottom. I haven't had the P37 long enough to say much more than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swegyptian Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 My thoughts too, but the end result is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Lucked out, I would have had to buy these if it was any longer, and my wallet would not have appreciated it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun K Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I was in Chicago for the last couple days, but I'm actually kind of glad I didn't see these while I was there. I'd be taking 2 pairs of speakers home and that would be even more explaining I'd have to do 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
